CIC on STCW
Already some years ago, the Paris and Tokyo MoUs agreed to carry out a CIC on STCW lasting three months,
from 1 September until 30 November 2022. Nearly all other PSC regimes – such as the Black Sea, Caribbean,
Indian Ocean, Mediterranean, Riyadh, and Vina del Mar MoUs – have agreed to join this campaign.
CIC focus area advice from Class DNV:
? Certification or document control due to several fake crew certificates and lack of competence of
seafarers regarding their certification in the past.
? evaluation of competences of the Master, officers and crew when performing duties and during
emergency scenarios.
